Summary/Abstract: The article aims to point out the understanding and preservation of traditional values as a priority and necessity, the present configuration requiring this more than ever before. Weddings today manifest a truly profane need for conspicuous display of social status, especially financial, a"state of facts " which alters the ancestral symbolic structures that bear sacred reminiscences. Significant changes shift the wedding development toward a new form that fails qualitatively versus institutionalization and event coverage.
